Baseball: Tampa Bay 7, Toronto 1

Matt Moore and three relievers combined in a three-hitter Thursday in pacing the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, The three-game sweep of the Blue Jays gave Tampa Bay its 10th win in 15 games. Moore (9-7) saw his 17 2/3-inning scoreless streak end in the first inning but, other than a leadoff double by Rajai Davis in the first and a Moises Sierra single to open the second, didn\'t allow a hit over six innings. He struck out six and walked two. Kyle Farnsworth and J.P. Howell each pitched a hitless inning. Wade Davis allowed a two-out double to David Cooper in the ninth. On the other side of the coin, Blue Jays starter Henderson Alvarez (7-9) was rapped for 11 runs and six runs -- four earned -- in 4 2/3 innings. After hitting the double, Davis stole third and scored on a balk. After Sierra\'s single, Moore retired the next 14 before giving up a walk. Jose Lobaton singled in a pair of runs and B.J. Upton knocked in another in a three-run second-inning Rays\' rally that included an error and two walks. Ryan Roberts made the score 4-1 an inning later with an RBI single. Evan Longoria, who had three hits, singled in Upton in the fourth and Lobaton drove in another run the fifth to make the score 6-1. Longoria had a long drive at first called a home run but overruled and changed to a double, but it was still worth the game\'s final run.
